Lindros would essentially be in the Evander Kane class in todays NHL,
Lindros led the league in PPG exactly one time
This is not a contest.
And how many MORE Art Ross trophies does McDavid have to win before they're not in the same "ballpark"?Lindros did finish third behind Lemieux and Jagr, playing on the same team, in 1996 and then second behind only Lemieux in 1997. I still take McDavid here but in terms of impact when Lindros was at his best they are in the same ballpark.
McDavid is better but seriously, this comment is very silly. You must be very young to make such comment.

The trophies argument is for losers anyway.
If tjey where in the same draft, the player with the most intruging upside would be drafted. And that always means offensive talent, IQ , vision.I think if both players were available at the same time when Lindros was drafted it would have been very hard to not select Lindros. but if its Lindros of todays NHL then I think you take McDavid
Lindros looked like the total package and imo better than McDavid for that time in the NHL
McDavid's hockey IQ both offensive and defensively and speed make a huge difference.If they're both 100% healthy probably Lindros. I don't think the gap in offense in favor of Mcdavid makes up for Lindros' advantage everywhere else.
Lindros would probably get converted to the wing if he was playing in the NHL today.
In an NHL that players like MacKinnon and McDavid are the cream of the crop, players from Lindros' era that would thrive the most would be the Russian trio of Molginy, Bure and Federov.

Lindros would end up stuck on the wing in 2022.

More slight win Art Rosses doesn’t change an at their best question. That changes a length of their best question. Unless McDavid can do what he did in ‘21 over a full season
McDavid in todays NHLIf tjey where in the same draft, the player with the most intruging upside would be drafted. And that always means offensive talent, IQ , vision.
Any year, the draft would go down 1 McDavid 2 Lindros.
Exception could be just the Lindros draft 91 - 96. Any other draft Im sure McDavid would go first
Lindros would essentially be in the Evander Kane class in todays NHL, with much more physicality and power forward net drive.
